Fractional 3-limit notation: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

A '''fractional-3-limit notation''' is a kind of [[musical notation]] built on a [[chain-of-fifths notation]], which is used for notating [[EDOs]] or [[EDOs to ETs|ETs]] in a way that avoids favoring any mapping from JI, while preserving the notation of subset EDOs. Fractional-3-limit notations may be contrasted with two other kinds of chain-of-fifths notation for EDOs: ''JI-based notations'', like the good-fifths [[Sagittal|Sagittal notations]], which assume specific JI mappings, and ''step-count notations'', like [[Ups and downs|Ups and Downs notations]], which do not preserve the notation of subset EDOs. Fractional-3-limit notations assign symbols to fractions of some tempered 3-limit comma. In practice, this 3-limit comma is either the [[2187/2048|apotome]] (chromatic semitone) as represented by a sharp or flat, or the [[256/243|limma]] (diatonic semitone) as represented by the intervals B-C and E-F.
